Default SS Hood???

Ok so im sure this has been asked many times but I would like some feedback from people who have replaced their hoods with an SS hood......I have recently bought a black 2000 z28 that has an aftermarket Fiberglass SS hood on it and even when u glance at it u can tell its a low quality fiberglass hood however its also got cracks and dents in it sooo....I am looking to replace the hood with a new SS hood but I am not sure which direction to go....

I would LOVE to buy a metal SS hood from OEM but that 1900 price tag aint gonna do it for me so Im lookin at the fiberglass options....So question is Where is the best reliable place to get a SS Camaro hood and has anyone bought the Duraflex hood from 6literdesigns and how well does it fit, close, etc...????

Any feed back or options would be great Thanks.....
